The Ping Pong Show (ex f**king Show) is (almost) dead. I remember my first visit into Patpong on Songkran, on my birthday and I was 19. The year was 1993. At that time, a teenager from Europe on the first trip to Asia it was a huge culture shock to see a bar (the first one I entered) when having a beer, a Thai Couple was F*cking right in front of me, doing almost all positions from the Kama Sutra for all drinkers to see. I mean the sex act was done maybe three feet from my nose. This without any entrance fee, and an 80 Baht beer in my hand.

Outside the tourist were experiencing the Songkran water festival, but it wasn’t as heavy as it is now. The huge water artillery did not exist yet and small guns and undercover coca cola cans was as big as it got. After 17 years yesterday I compared the pingpong show again and decided to go to Queens Castle 2.

As far as I know I haven’t seen any PP shows anymore in Pattaya, and in Phuket the last bar closed a couple of months ago where even small birds and fish were used to insert in the female orifice. In the now non existant Marylin Agogo right next to the Big Walking Street Sign they used live toads to entertain the show. Even some Animal Planet tips came out of the visit as I did not know when you rub a toads dick, and lay them down on their backs, they stay positioned like that for a while till the erection is gone, like male porn stars posing for their resume shoot. Most of the shows are pretty similar,

A Girl shoots darts from her pussy to balloons held in the audience

Eggs are inserted and then re-born from a human into a glass of water filled champagne

A string of artificial flowers maybe 20 meters long are pulled out of the girls

A cord with razor blades comes right of her pussy

They write : Welcome to Thailand with a marker positioned in the vagina

A pussy is smoking one or two sigarettes at the time

A pussy is blowing a whistle

…

The Patpong area is the only one where you can still find these shows, but regretfully they overcharge unknowing tourist extra fees for the shows. My first and only experience when I followed one of these ass-hole touts for pussy shows was in 96, after drinking one beer at a promised 100 THB and a lame show our bill came with an extra service fee for the show: 600 THB each. The moment you start complaining about the bill three Thai Guys come to stand around you to intimidate the refusal of payment.

My answer was I took out my phone (at that time I only had a connection in Europe, and no signal at all in Thailand) and told them I know somebody at the tourist police. They let us go. After seeing the similar shows as mentioned above in the Queens 2, they tried to charge me an extra 100 THB on the bill, with my protest is was immediately reduced to the 200 THB it should be (There was no bill presented on our table and when I asked for the Bill I had to go to the counter to receive a verbal 300 THB bill), probable the manager makes an extra 2000 THB every night if it works.

The Kings group never used to charge extra on the bills for the PP shows, being Queen’s Castle One and Two. Avoid the ones where touts will bring you like Super Pussy etc.
Here are a few tips if your friends or family are on a visit and they really wanna see a PP show:
Go to the Kings Group’s bars, don’t follow the touts.

Ask for the Price of a beer and if there is an extra charge for the show.
A tip for the showgirls is expected (From 20 to 100 THB will cover it)
Ask for your bill when it is not presented on your table, before you watch the show, ask them to bring it. If not, that means something extra will be added.

In case of problems, don’t shout, stay friendly and tell them you will try to contact tourist police to solve the problem.
